Definitions
- the present invention relates to composite biomaterials comprising hydroxyapatite, collagen, and alginate and a process for producing the same.
- the present invention relates to novel composite biomaterials having mechanical properties similar to those of natural bones, excellent bioadaptability, and excellent bone-conductivity and a process for producing the same.
- Implants such as artificial bones or artificial bone fillers are used particularly for treatment of bone defects.
- Such implants are required to have bioadaptability and bone inductivity in addition to mechanical properties similar to those of natural bones. That is, implants needs to be gradually resorbed after implantation in the body, involved into the bone regeneration cycle, and then substituted for the bones of the subject.
- Bones of vertebrates are composed of hydroxyapatite and collagen. They forms a specific nanocomposite structure in natural bones characterized in that the c-axis of hydroxyapatite is oriented along the collagen fibers, and this structure imparts bone-specific mechanical properties.
- Composite biomaterials of hydroxyapatite and collagen having structures and compositions similar to those of natural bones are described in, for example, JP Patent Publication (Kokai) Nos. 7-101708 A (1995) and 11-199209 A (1999), and bone inductivity thereof has been observed to some extent.
- Alginic acid is a polysaccharide contained in seaweed, which has been heretofore employed in a haemostatic drug or wound dressing. Concerning artificial bones, development of bone fillers comprising ⁇ -TCP in combination with alginate has been reported (Nagata, Shika Zairyou (Dental materials), vol. 16, No. 6, 1997, pp. 479-491). Moreover, alginic acid has been recently reported to help a repair of bones and/or cartilages (e.g., Fragonas et al., Biomaterials 21, 2000, pp. 795-801). Application of alginic acid to a composite of hydroxyapatite and collagen, however, had not yet been attempted. In particular, homogenous incorporation of alginic acid into the composite while maintaining its specific nanocomposite structure involves some difficulties.
- An object of the present invention is to provide novel composite biomaterials having excellent bioadaptability and bone inductivity in which alginate is homogenously distributed in a composite of hydroxyapatite and collagen having microporous structures similar to those of natural bones and a process for producing the same.
- the present inventors have conducted concentrated studies in order to attain the above object. As a result, they have succeeded in obtaining a composite in which alginate has been homogenously incorporated by adding alginate to a microporous composite of hydroxyapatite and collagen in a given step and curing the mixture. They have found that this composite had excellent bioadaptability and bone inductivity. This has led to the completion of the present invention.
- the present invention provides the following (1) to (10).
- Composite biomaterials which comprise hydroxyapatite, collagen, and alginate and have a microporous structure in which the c-axis of hydroxyapatite is oriented along the collagen fibers.
- the composite biomaterials of the present invention comprises hydroxyapatite, collagen, and alginate, and at least a part thereof is a microporous structure in which the c-axis of hydroxyapatite is oriented along the collagen fibers.
- This structure is specific to natural bones, which imparts mechanical properties specific to the composite biomaterials of the present invention.
- microporous structure refers to a structure similar to that of natural bones in which indefinite numbers of pores (gaps) of approximately several ⁇ m to several tens of ⁇ m are present.
- the ratio of hydroxyapatite with collagen in the composite biomaterials of the present invention is generally between 60:40 and 90:10, and preferably between 70:30 and 85:15. This is because the ratio thereof needs to approximate the composition of natural bones (75:25).
- the composite biomaterials of the present invention comprise alginates homogenously distributed therein. This makes the composite biomaterials more valuable for applications as implants and the like.
- the alginate content in the composite biomaterials of the present invention is 1 to 30% by mass, and preferably 5 to 20% by mass (“% by mass” is hereafter simply referred to as “%”), relative to the total amount of hydroxyapatite and collagen (total mass). Specifically, when the amount of alginate is too small, the strength of the composite becomes insufficient. In contrast, cell invasion into the biomaterials is blocked when the amount thereof is too large.
- the composite biomaterials of the present invention When used as bone fillers without curing and lyophilization, the composite biomaterials comprise an adequate amount of water, and their water contents can be adequately determined depending on applications.
- a hydroxyapatite content of 55 to 80%, a collagen content of 10 to 35%, and an alginate content of 1 to 25%, relative to the entire composite biomaterials after lyophilization are preferable.
- the composite biomaterials of the present invention have porosities (foamed portions) of 5 to 70%, and preferably approximately 10 to 50%, in a water-containing state before lyophilization. After the lyophilization, the composite biomaterials have porosities of at least 80%, and preferably at least 95%. As mentioned above, low porosity results in insufficient cell invasion into the biomaterials after implantation to the body, which in turn decreases bone inductivity and strength of the implants.
- the lyophilized composite biomaterials of the present invention have gaps (pores) of between 1 ⁇ m and 500 ⁇ m (average diameter) and indefinite numbers of microgaps (micropores) of 1 ⁇ m or smaller. This microporous structure improves cell invasion and bone inductivity after implantation to the body.
- the process for producing composite biomaterials of the present invention comprises the following steps 1) and 2).
- Composite biomaterials having microporous structures in which alginates are homogenously distributed in composites of hydroxyapatite and collagen (hereafter referred to as “HAp/Col composite”) can be obtained by this process:
- a HAp/Col composite used in step 1) preferably has a microporous structure similar to that of natural bones in which the c-axis of hydroxyapatite is oriented along the collagen fibers.
- Such a composite can be produced in accordance with, for example, the method of Kikuchi et al. (Biomaterials 22, 2000, pp. 1705-1711). More specifically, a composite of interest can be obtained by simultaneously adding a calcium hydroxide solution and an aqueous phosphate solution containing collagen dropwise to a reaction vessel, and dehydrating the resulting sediment.
- Collagen used herein is not particularly limited. If the molecular weight of collagen is large, however, the strength of a composite becomes insufficient because of steric hindrance. Accordingly, the use of monomeric collagen is preferable. Pepsin-treated atelocollagen is particularly preferable for the composite biomaterials of the present invention because of its monomeric property and low antigenicity.
- a small amount of physiological saline, deionized water, a phosphate buffer, or the like is initially added to the above mentioned HAp/Col composite, and the resulting mixture is mixed by a homogenizer or other means. More specifically, when free calcium ion exists in the HAp/Col composite, it is sometimes reacted with alginic acid and cause gelatinization. Thus, calcium ion is allowed to adsorb on hydroxyapatite by adding physiological saline or the like, and it needs to avoid reaction with alginic acid.
- physiological saline or a phosphate buffer When physiological saline or a phosphate buffer is added, ion penetrates the composite, and it is adsorbed on the surface of hydroxyapatite to neutralize its electric charge. This allows homogenous mixing of alginate and HAp/Col composite. Thus, the use of physiological saline or a phosphate buffer is particularly preferable.
- the amount of physiological saline, or the like, to be added varies depending on the structure and composition of the HAp/Col composite. It is preferably between 2 times and 6 times the total amount of the HAp/Col composite.
- Alginates used in step 1) are not particularly limited, and sodium salt, potassium salt, and the like can be used.
- Crosslinked alginate may be used as alginates. Some of the crosslinked alginate has excellent bioabsorbability, and use thereof is more preferable. Alginates can be handled easily if they are prepared as 3-5% aqueous solutions.
- step 2) gluconic acid and calcium carbonate are neutralized, carbon dioxide is then foamed, and alginic acid is cured by being crosslinked with calcium ion.
- gluconic acid and calcium carbonate are neutralized, carbon dioxide is then foamed, and alginic acid is cured by being crosslinked with calcium ion.
- Calcium carbonate used in step 2) is not particularly limited, and it may be a suspension or powder. Also, gluconic acid used in step 2) is not particularly limited.
- the molar ratio of calcium carbonate to gluconic acid is between 1:3 and 2:3, and preferably about 1:2.
- the composite biomaterials of the present invention can have desired pore sizes and porosities through regulation of the amount of foaming by adequately adjusting the amounts of calcium carbonate and gluconic acid. When the amounts of calcium carbonate and gluconic acid are too small, gelatinization becomes insufficient. In contrast, an excess amount thereof results in excessive foaming. Too much or too little amount thereof decreases the strength of the composite biomaterials. Accordingly, calcium carbonate is preferably added in an amount of approximately 10% to 100% relative to the total amount of the HAp/Col composite. When only gluconic acid is added in an amount larger than the adequate level, the amount of foaming does not vary, while the crosslinking density is elevated by free calcium ions generated from the partially dissolved hydroxyapatite. Thus, the strength of the implant is enhanced.
- the gelatinized mixture obtained in step 2) is immersed in a calcium hydrochloride solution or the like to crosslink alginic acid. Attention should be given to the density of crosslinking since cell invasion after implantation to the body will be adversely affected if crosslinking is too dense.
- the gelatinized mixture obtained in step 2) begins to cure within about several minutes to several tens of minutes, and the composite biomaterials of the present invention can be thus obtained.
- the composite biomaterials can be used as bone fillers in that state if they are directly implanted to bone defects before curing.
- the composite biomaterials are injected into a desired mold immediately after the mixing in of gluconic acid, and then molded.
- lyophilization is carried out.
- the structures of the composite biomaterials i.e., specific surface areas, porosities, pore (gap) sizes, and the like, can be suitably adjusted by selecting conditions for lyophilization (e.g., temperature, the duration of freezing, or lyophilization in water).
